I see the mid-column display when I'm clipping, but if you look at the note once the page is captured I see the full-width text.

...and yes, I went to see Predator with my son today. We both enjoyed it in a purely visceral way. (Meaning brain off and watch the pretty explosions...). There is running. Lots and lots of running... ?

Hey @gazumped ...man, I am still struggling with this issue... most of the time I resort to 'Article' clip mode, but would prefer to use 'Simplified Article' if only I could find a way to remove those huge left and right margins I end up with, even in Note View... it's the same wide margins, resulting in the note contents appearing centre aligned, inside a central narrow column.

UPDATE: I just viewed/checked this note in both EN-Android, and EN-Web (new version) and the note has no margins and displays beatifully on those 2 platforms...so at a loss to understand issue with how the note views on EN-Windows, which is the platform i use 95% of the time.

Same problem here. Pretty ticked off. Evernote gave me some back and forth tech support emails finally admitting this was a problem and a solution was coming. That was a LONG time ago. First pick below: Chrome clipper. Second, Firefox clipper, both simple format.

Almost moved to OneNote out of frustration but the migration is a *****, especially trying to keep links between notes of years worth of research intact.

Might be something to do with window sizes. I found your page and tried a few options. I can clip the simplified text into a better layout - but it means using Evernote to simplify the text and Nimbus - or another screenshot app - to grab the visual. Using just Clipper I got these -

I knew I said I could live with this, but just now I was reminded by how sometimes in the past, using 'Simplified Article' clip-mode would result in no margins, or the notes contents appearing Left-Aligned. The attached images show the same webpage clip - one clipped in the year 2018, and the other clipped today Jan 17-2020. Today's clipped note has margins on left and right, whereas 2018's does NOT. Strange and weird. @Scott T. are you able to shed any light on this please?

@RavBoy I don't use Windows personally, but if I understand what your issue is, I think we have this addressed in the new editor which we're working hard to release across all platforms. It will be available in the new Windows client we're working on (see the earlier link to our blog post for 2020).

If you take a look at this screen capture, you can see we allow you to manipulate captured content and also select how to display content in the editor.

Scott, now THAT actually looks like it will be a solution finally. I use most recent MacOS and Chrome with a clipper. I also use the MacOS Evernote Desktop client for 99.5% of my Evernote work. Will this reach us also?

KEY: Will there be a default setting such as the viewing across full window option be a default select?

Yes, the new editor will be on all platforms. I think we're looking to release the new clients pretty close together, though I think mobile is a bit ahead in terms of progress.

The setting for note width is persisted for any note you view.

Also, the "Web Clip" in the video is how the new editor tries to maintain the most reliable view of the content that you clipped, as opposed to the random formatting that the old editor attempted to apply automatically to clips.

Woohoo... Cheers @Scott T.. I'm very much looking forward to receiving this update...thanks for letting us know, awesome, and love your work 😉

...in the mean time @Scott T., @gazumped, @airlifter2 I have found a workaround to the issue of web-clips using 'Simplified Article' mode that result in large margins on left/right side of note contents.

This workaround requires a little extra 2-step shuffle... and works for me using Google Chrome EN Web-clipper on Windows PC

Sync EN on PC > Open the newly created Note (should have its contents centre aligned)

CTRL+A (to select the note contents)

CTRL+C (to copy note contents)

CTRL+N (to create new note)

CTRL+V (to paste contents into this new note)

This new 2nd note should now have all its contents 'Left Aligned', and take up the full size of the note window. The process is a bit involved, but if your OCD kicks in, well, now you have a way to satisfy it 😉

EXAMPLE -ORIGINAL NOTE 1

EXAMPLE -CONTENTS PASTED TO NOTE 2

NOTE**

On occasion I have noticed this 2-step shuffle workaround fails to work...and it appears to have something to do with Step 2 using CTRL+A, I think... so the solution that works in this step 2/case, is to manually select the note contents, by dragging/highlighting then doing Step 3 CTRL+C ...and it works fine

Finally, when you look at the before and after images attached above, you can see a lot less screen real estate is used by the text, and the images are even larger...nice

Consider the above post, my Method 1. The issue with Method 1 is having to create a 2nd Note to paste the contents to, which then necessitates that you also have to go the extra steps of copy/pasting the Note Title and URL...so just takes too long.

Here's the much easier, new and improved way to do this...and it looks really great now.
